Perfect Beer and Pizza Pairings at Pizza Tugos

Experts say to pair white wine with fish, lagers with light flavored foods, red wine with red meat, and dry wines with desserts. But what about beer and pizza? No two things go better together, but which should you choose? Pizza Tugos has the perfect beer and pizza pairings ready for you! 

Which Beers Go Well With White, Meat, or Spicy Pizza 

We know just about any cold beer and freshly baked pizza are like magic when they’re side by side, but with our deep experience in pizza, we’ve got a few morsels of advice on which specific beer types will go with some of our favorite pizzas.

Cheese Pizza
You can’t go wrong with the crown favorite, cheese pizza. Try it with a Cream Ale, which is light and smooth, or with an IPA, especially one with a fruity or citrusy flavor.

Hawaiian Pizza
Pair the sweet pineapple and salty ham toppings with something refreshingly fruity and light like a Belgian or White Ale.

Cheeseburger Craft Pizza
Something with hops will balance out the heavy, rich flavors of beef, bacon, pizza and American cheeses. Try an American Pale Ale or a Belgian Blonde for lighter beers, or try an Amber Ale for something sweeter and richer. 

The Godfather Craft Pizza
With pepperoni, sausage, ham, ground beef, bacon, green pepper, onion, mushroom, AND extra cheese… we suggest something VERY light! Bud Light, Miller Lite, or Michelob Ultra would be our top picks to pair with The Godfather.  

Buffalo Chicken Craft Pizza
For pizzas with strong, spicy flavors like the Buffalo Chicken, your beer has to have enough flavor to stand up to the heat. We’d go with something like an Amber Lager, with notes of caramel and maltiness to balance out the spice, or something with enough citrusy bitterness to cut through the kick of this pie.
